The headlines on this site are very suggestive of something that didn't happen. This seems to be the way of news media for many years now. Really sad.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0c1cb49e2ae041d0e0000FoolishCopThu, 21 Oct 2010 18:42:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0c1cb49e2ae041d0e0000
No, I did respond to the Mossad stuff. That was the belly laughs I seized up with.
You know, if you look reeee-e-e-al close at the YouTube videos of the WTC collapse, you can actually see the charges going off. You know, the ones where various nefarious government types spent days and days wiring the building, though no one noticed anything strange going on.
You sure your tinfoil hat isn't on your head too tight?

Why are we subsidizing this ego play for effete snobs in the first place.

Good for NPR, Juan Williams slant belongs to "Fake News" with the rest of the failed political candidstes Palin, Huckabee, or should I say the 2012 GOP Presidential contenders. They are not racist they are just the good old boys. They are the bunch that keep saying that everyong should be scared of BLACKS, scared of ASIANS, sacred of LATINOS, scared of WOMEN, scared of the GAYS and now they are scared of Muslims. So long Johnny,don't let the door hit you. I love that you went crying to "Fake News" and played the victim card, I guess its another "it is a high-tech lynching".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc09cca49e2aef759280000new realityThu, 21 Oct 2010 16:04:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc09cca49e2aef759280000

No dude, you've made my day. What are they celebrating? Do you see them watching the attacks and cheering?

"But there's no denying that some Muslims want to kill Americans."
Some Christians want to kill Americans. Some Jews want to kill Americans. Some Atheists want to kill Americans. Hell, I bet even some Buddhists want to kill Americans.

Hey Webby, maybe you should have bought his picks. If you owned AMZN like Henry said (at any level) you might be less angry, and better, more wealthy. Try love and not being a hater; it is better for your health. Good luck

You need to take a course in mathematical statistics.
If you have a large barrel filled with colored marbles, and every time you take a handful of marbles out of the barrel most of them are blue marbles, what's the probability that the next time you take a handful of marbles out of the barrel, at least some of them will be blue?
The probability turns out to be quite high. But to you, I'm just bigoted against blue marbles.
Most Muslims are not terrorists. But if you look at the number of terrorist incidents over the last 50 years, you'll find that the vast majority of those terrorist incidents were caused by Muslims. Not Christians (btw Timothy McVeigh was an agnostic, not a Christian); not Tamil Tigers; MUSLIMS. MUSLIMS. MUSLIMS.
That's a FACT. And so statistically, if you're trying to stay alive, you worry more about Muslims than anybody else.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc063daccd1d55615040000gpThu, 21 Oct 2010 12:01:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc063daccd1d55615040000

NPR is simply getting ahead of the curve. The management runs the risk of getting threatened by a sub group of the Muslim Brotherhood putting its personnel at risk to bodily harm for employing Juan Williams. Think Sopranos in a burka.
This is how it works. Terrorism is extremely effective when it is personalized. Tomorrow morning you get a call that your daughter will be killed unless you fire your nanny. Goodbye nanny!

I'd like it better if folks would use adjectives like "wary" and "vigilant," rather than "nervous" and "worried" with regard to Muslim air-travelers. Every time an American says he's scared of Muslims, the jihadis smile.

"Let's not forget the video clips after 9-11 of all those "mainstream Muslims" around the world cheering the attacks of 9-11"
Did you see people watching videos of the planes hitting the towers and then cheering? Or did you see Palestinian kids just smiling? I think you saw the latter, and of course everyone was in such shock that it was easy to connect two dots that do not really connect.
However, I bet you never even heard of the Mossad agents that videotaped the attacks from across the river and then, after being deported without incident, went on an Israeli talk show and said they were only there to "document the event". Fox even ran a story on it! But it was swept under the rug on quick order. Just as there was no real investigation into the 100+ Israelis that were detained in connection with running a huge spy ring that somehow was thought to be connected to 9/11.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc04ba1ccd1d56a0b150000DEEThu, 21 Oct 2010 10:18:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc04ba1ccd1d56a0b150000
What exactly does Don't Ask, Don't Tell have to do with Juan Williams getting fired for speaking his mind? He shouldn't have been fired. Period. What he said was not inflammatory or racist. Are you suggesting that all of the people who run NPR are gay? Strange idea.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a stupid law and it is discriminatory. It does NOT have anything at all to do with Williams's firing ...
You ask "When is it going to stop? When are we going to graduate high school?" Perhaps you should look inward for the answers to those questions. Your homophobia clearly has seeped into all areas of thinking for you. You spend too much time thinking about the tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population that happens to be gay and wanting to serve in the military. Oh. And if you think that people serving in the military don't know that the poor schmo who doesn't talk about his private life -- at all-- is gay, you're kidding yourself.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0490d4bd7c8525a190000thetroofThu, 21 Oct 2010 10:07:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0490d4bd7c8525a190000
Actually, there is no proof that Bin Laden was behind 9/11. That confession video was a fake. There is no proof that any of the hijackers boarded the planes. There is no proof whatsoever to support the official version of the attacks. Get your heads out of your asses and find out what world you are really living in.
If I told you a bunch of Egyptian Jews (under the direction of Israeli intelligence) plotted to blow upAmerican and British targets in Egypt, leaving a trail to make it look like Muslims did it in order for Israel to gain favor with the American government, you'd call me a conspiracy nut right?
If I told you that George Bush spoke to Tony Blair about painting a reconnaissance plane in UN colors and flying it in Iraqi airspace in the hopes that Saddam Hussein shoots it down so he could get his planned-well-in-advance war approval from the American public, you'd call me a conspiracy nut right?
If I told you the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a lie to get Americans to approve going to war in Vietnam you would call me a whacko, right?
Well, hate to break the news to you, it's all true. Lavon Affair, Manning memo, look them up and you'll see. It is not impossible that your government would lie to you, would kill their own people, to generate the very significant profits that wars bring.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc048a449e2ae4c420b0000FoolishCopThu, 21 Oct 2010 10:05:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc048a449e2ae4c420b0000
Um, I dunno. Didn't it scare the bejesus out of people about militias in the country and "homegrown terrorists?" Didn't they suddenly get put on the FBI's radar in a hurry? Isn't MSNBC and Rachel Maddow still trying today to use Timothy McVeigh as a smear --somehow -- against conservatives and the Tea Party?

Time to get out the character assasination squad and paint Williams as an Uncle Tom. Julian Bond would be good for overseeing the operation.
By the way, if a whiny CAIR sympathizer spoke of his/her fear of being a "Muslim in America", they would be applauded for their bravery.
What a load of crap.

Why are Americans having such trouble regarding the Muslim religion?
Understandably, after the World Trade Center bombings, Americans were justifiably very frightened. The terrorists whose violent ideology led them to murder nearly 3000 Americans set in motion a deep-seated fear and strong rejection of violent Muslim extremism that continues to this day across America.
The problem we are facing now can be found in the phrase used in the preceding sentence: "violent Muslim extremism." No one denies that there are violent Muslim extremists who want to destroy America. But as soon as that label is used, the claim is made that it is an attempt to label all Muslims as violent extremists.
The confusion of that phrase is caused by Americans' fear and anger at a simple fact: the overall population of Muslims in America has not issued a loud, public, ongoing denunciation and rejection of violent Muslim extremism.
Imagine if there were an extremist sect of Christians or Jews or Buddhists who continually committed violent acts based upon an ideology that told them it was justifiable and even righteous to set off bombs in public places or to torture or behead disbelievers. There would be an immediate and ongoing outcry by mainstream members of the Christian or Jewish or Buddhist populations across America. From every pulpit and from every news media, there would be endless calls for marches and demonstrations demanding that the violence should be stopped and punished.
Unfortunately, the overall Muslim community in America has not been moved to issue such a sustained outcry. There have been sporadic expressions of criticism from Muslim Americans against the Muslim extremists, But if you were to ask most non-Muslim Americans whether there has been an ongoing vehement public rejection from Muslims in America against the violent ideology of Muslim extremism, the answer you almost certainly would get is that there has not been. To most non-Muslim Americans, the perception is that the overall Muslim community in America has remained virtually silent about the Muslim extremists.
The vast majority of peace-loving American Muslims inwardly may reject Muslim extremism. But what causes non-Muslim Americans to suspect and fear and be prejudiced against the Muslim community is the perception that because that larger community has not loudly denounced the violent extremist ideology, Muslim Americans somehow may be sympathetic towards it.
To dispel this long-standing doubt and simmering distrust toward Muslims in America, the greater population of peace-loving Muslims needs to give voice to a sustained public denunciation that expresses their outrage toward violent Muslim extremism. Unless and until that happens, it is very likely that there will continue to be confusion about the use of the phrase, "violent Muslim extremists."http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0359ccadcbb1e4f340000MicalThu, 21 Oct 2010 08:44:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0359ccadcbb1e4f340000
Just goes to show how effed up the world is that we live in to day. Their is absolutely no justice, no sane reasoning, and no more common sense. Our constitution is supposed to allow us to fight against groups that become so large, that they can influence the powers to be like magic. Queers complain the military is discriminating against them, secretly searching their e-mails to find evidence, listening to their phone calls etc. Bullshit! They simply lack the discipline to serve under the terms and conditions they agreed to when they signed, and lack the ability to properly conduct themselves. This is true or the ones who were discharged would still be in the military.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0358549e2ae4e08750000freedumbThu, 21 Oct 2010 08:43:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0358549e2ae4e08750000

Zero.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc03077ccd1d53c070b0000quaylorThu, 21 Oct 2010 08:22:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc03077ccd1d53c070b0000
The Internet is just a medium of information, just like paper, radio or television. Regardless of how it arrives to your brain, information must always be discerned.
Lies are spiritually unsatisfying, and the truth stirs something deep inside you. Everyone reading this thread feels that stirring deep within. The only question is whether you'll ignore it and go back to sleep because the possibilities scare you, or you'll go to YouTube, enter "Building 7," and follow where the trail leads you.
The next few years will be very challenging, and if you are afraid to look at uncomfortable truths, you won't fare well. Have the courage to look at the things that frighten you. You won't regret it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0301449e2aeed03790000Swinging for the BleachersThu, 21 Oct 2010 08:20:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0301449e2aeed03790000

"Having lost your judgment, you aren't trustworthy as a media figure. "
That describes most of NPR, the government radio network.
It should be defunded. What the hell is the government doing borrowing money to do funding of radio stations?

He didn't say anything that Jesse Jackson hadn't already said. I seem to recall that Reverend Hymietown, with the Knocked Up Ho, said that he was "Relieved", when he heard footsteps behind him on the sidewalk at night, and turned around to find that the person was WHITE.
As far as I know, he hasn't been fired from his position as the head Race Hustler/Extortionist in the Country.
What's up with that?

Anyone who cares enough to stop ridiculing and making jokes can find out who is actually behind it in just a few days. I'm just asking people to stop blindly hating and feeling fear and to look into things. Many true patriots, who wish to preserve our nation from the destruction the banksters have planned for it, have posted the necessary information all over the internet.
Don't be a chump. Explore the uncomfortable realities of the world you live in. Start with Building 7. Start on YouTube if you're not a reader.

Terrorists win when we give over our rationality. Let's defeat them by thinking, and defending our own principles of freedom, including freedom of religion.

I couldn't agree more even even though my frontal temporal lobe isn't quite as severely damaged as your own.
It is clear that 9/11 was orchestrated by conservative christians. Moreover, I understand from the voices in my head that President Bush--a trained pilot--actually personally trained the pilots who flew the planes into one of the towers.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc026d2ccd1d50d05360000quaylorThu, 21 Oct 2010 07:41:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc026d2ccd1d50d05360000
The idea that 19 or so Muslims conspired to carry off 9/11 is a conspiracy theory in itself. But if this is so, how did they bring down WTC Building 7? No plane hit it. How did it magically implode on itself when far more damaged buildings, like the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, have been able to stand? If you look into Building 7, it will lead you step-by-step to the truth of all this.
The Juan Williams situation, along with this article, is a deft piece of psywar aimed at stirring unthinking emotion. How many lies will people swallow, and how many of our servicemen have to die, before people bother to turn off the TV and explore the truth of 9/11, the Patriot Act, the Iraq and Afghan invasions, oil, opium, and military contracts?
Our men and women in uniform are dying because we didn't bother to study. It's time to do your patriotic duty to uncover the truth. And I mean right now.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0267bccd1d5cb05150000PhilThu, 21 Oct 2010 07:39:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0267bccd1d5cb05150000
Your position is logical. Terror is an emotion. Terrorists aim is to hijack the emotional responses of their enemies, turning them against themselves. Juan Williams' position may be illogical, hypervigilant, and ultimately discriminatory, but it is the intended result of terrorism. This does not make Juan Williams a bigot, it makes him a human being capable of allowing emotion to trump logic when he is vulnerable. This is forgivable. It is unfair to label people as "bigots" simply because they are fallible.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0251949e2ae5008170000SteveThu, 21 Oct 2010 07:33:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc0251949e2ae5008170000
No, not a bigot, just someone concerned for the safety of himself and others.
If it was orthodox Jews or Sikhs flying those planes then I'm sure they would be viewed with distrust as well and rightfully so.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc023904bd7c8c9540f0000pdThu, 21 Oct 2010 07:27:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc023904bd7c8c9540f0000

Okay, I'll bevthe the one to actually look at what Williams said, and not just spout my feelings about NPR.
He said that when he sees people in "Muslim garb" he thinks they are putting religion over country. Does he feel that way when he sees people wearing crosses? Sikhs wearing turbans? Orthodox Jews? No? Then he's singling out Muslims for behavior typical of many other people.
Did he consider that the 9/11 attackers were dressed like they shopped at Old Navy? Wearing religious clothing should put you at ease, by that logic.
And he's worried because that dipshit Times Square bomber (check out his garb when he tried the bombing, btw) said there's a holy war on? Since when does that jerk speak for a whole religion? That's just a dumb ass fantasy, same as we've heard from Christian militia idiots. No one thinks they speak for the religion.
Sorry, Juan's a bigot.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc02118ccd1d57d03d00000SteveThu, 21 Oct 2010 07:16:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4cc02118ccd1d57d03d00000

Goodness, I can see that the hatred of Muslims you've been programmed to feel is difficult to give up. It's been nine years since 9/11, though, and there's no excuse for anyone to have not figured out what's really going on by now. If you don't take the time to look into the realpolitik of this, you deserve the needless war you'll get.

It's daddy Soros way of trying to hurt Fox. Juan doesn't need to be on a corrupt radio station like NPR. Since Soros can buy reporters for NPR, he will have to keep supporting them, because my family will no longer listen to it at all. Sponsors of NPR should boycott the station. The message is being controlled by their sugar Daddy Soros.

This whole "there was a mosque in the Twin Towers" argument for why another should be allowed to be built there is B.S.
Not that there wasn't one there, just that it's immaterial to the argument. 9-11 changed a lot about how Muslims are viewed and exposed really how they feel about the U.S. While we're supposed to say "Muslim extremists" -- otherwise Whoopi and Joy will storm off the set -- the fact is there seems to be a helluva lot of extremists out there. Whole countries full of them in fact.
Let's not forget the video clips after 9-11 of all those "mainstream Muslims" around the world cheering the attacks of 9-11. As has been noted by others, we don't say Japanese extremists bombed Pearl Harbor. Or it was German extremists who were rolling over Europe. And we certainly don't hear about Christian extremists launching the Crusades or the Inquisition. They were identified by who they were and what they identified themselves as first and foremost.
So let's stop with the facade that we need to call Muslims "extremists" to separate them out. They were Muslims who attacked us, Muslims who are fighting us today, and Muslims who are plotting to kill us tomorrow. Simple. And there are probably others who fit that mold too but we needn't have to label themselves as "extremists" all the time to discuss them.
Oh, and FWIW, I have no problem with the mosque being built where they want to. It's two blocks from the WTC site, not at the site. Just how far is the aura that extends from where the buildings once stood?

To bad about Juan, I enjoy listening to him when he is on Fox and appreciate his opinions.
